The secular press and media are having a field day spinning and extrapolating what Pope Francis' words mean and imply. Politicians and pundits alike pontificate as if they were biblical scholars doing exegesis on passages from scripture. Opinionated commentators posing as journalists dissect and scrutinize every papal utterance as if they were all of the same weight and importance. Curiously, Jesus' opponents did the very same thing. They took his words and deeds OUT OF CONTEXT. This is what is happening now with Pope Francis.
Just as the words of Sacred Scripture must be taken in CONTEXT in order to be correctly interpreted and understood, likewise, the same must be applied to the Vicar of Christ on earth. The Bishop of Rome is the supreme head of the Catholic Church. As Pope, he has full, supreme, immediate, and universal authority. He is infallible, however, only on matters of faith and morals. Supremacy and infallibility are different aspects of the Petrine ministry often misunderstood as being the same thing. They are distinct yet still interrelated. As Pope, the Holy Father is supreme pastor, which means he enjoys full primacy. There is no authority other than God higher than papal authority. No ecumenical council can overrule him. This is a juridical component as opposed to his infallibility that is a teaching or didactic aspect. The trifold munera (offices) of Christ's ministry as Priest, Prophet and King are continued in the sanctifying, teaching and governing offices of the Church. The Roman Pontiff possesses supremacy in all of them. He is the supreme teacher on matters of doctrine; he is the high priest in matters liturgical; he is the supreme leader of the church in governing the universal church. Infallibility resides in his teaching or magisterial authority only. Nevertheless, since he possesses supreme authority in governance and in sacred worship, while non-infallible, it is still absolute. In other words, the Pope's prudential judgments are not protected by divine intervention. Historically, some popes have made imprudent decisions while a few even made bad or immoral choices. The overwhelming majority, Deo gratias, have made reasonable and sensible judgments.
Pope St. John Paul the Great spoke as a philosopher and with a theatrical flavor. Much like Archbishop Fulton Sheen who took full advantage of the television when he had his weekly program, JP2 used both content (what he said) and context (where he said it). He was conscious of the scene and backdrop. He utilized the stage at every World Youth Day and at every international papal visit. His words and his gestures (like kissing the ground the first time he visited a country) spoke volumes. His words were deliberate and well thought out.
Pope Emeritus Benedict spoke as a gentile professor of theology. Unlike his predecessor, he was no actor, so his sense of theater was not the same. He was a scholar, like JP2, but he used the world as a classroom to teach, discuss and dialogue with his pupils. At times, one could feel like a high school freshman in chemistry class being taught by Albert Einstein, yet, very quickly, we learned that B16 wanted nothing less than to enlighten all his students with the same light of faith he himself found essential and fascinating.
Pope Francis, on the other hand, speaks and acts like a pastor. More like a parish priest than a diocesan bishop, in fact. He preaches unrehearsed sermons and speaks in colloquial vernacular that his flock immediately knows he is speaking to them about issues of a spiritual nature. Whereas Pope Benedict would give erudite theological explanations, Pope Francis gives mini-sermonettes and ferverinos often given by a parish priest at a weekday Mass. DE GUSTIBUS NON DISPUTANDUM EST.
Each pope has his own style and flavor of the papacy. It is unfair to compare JP2 with B16 and both with F1. Pope Benedict wore red shoes. So what. They were gifts. Pope John Paul wore red shoes and a red cape as well. Big deal. Pope Francis chooses to wear old comfortable shoes. Who cares? Just as each pope has his own taste of music, his own favorite sports team and his own favorite cuisine, likewise, each has his own opinion on economics, politics and science. Obviously, his prudential judgments on the latter warrant our attention and consideration (while the latter are purely personal), nonetheless, they are not exercises of papal infallibility.
When these distinctions are not made and when the secular media compare apples with oranges, you get non sequitur fallacies that would give any logician a migraine. If Pope Francis wanted, he could amend the Catechism, which would then be part of the Ordinary Magisterium. So far, he has chosen not to do so. Homilies, sermons and impromptu talks do not have the same weight as encyclicals, apostolic exhortations and constitutions, et al. Particular scientific, political and economic theories are similarly not the same and do not carry the same magisterial authority as do general moral principles and doctrinal tenets and canonical decrees.
The Pope has every right as an individual to express his personal opinions even though the faithful are not obliged to give them the assent of faith. As supreme head of the church and as the mouth of the Magisterium, he has every right, duty and obligation to comment on any issue or topic that might have an impact on Catholic faith and morals. You and I may disagree with non-infallible teachings but we cannot merely ignore, discount or casually repudiate them at first glance. We owe the Successor of Saint Peter a prayerful and intelligent deliberation of his position instead of dismissing without proper consideration.
Ecology, economics and politics do impact human life and each has moral implications. Subsidiarity, however, requires that those who have expertise in these areas and those at the local level first, have legitimate claim to the first word. Enunciating moral principles and dogmatic facts are the purview of spiritual leaders and shepherds, of whom the Pope is first and foremost. Applying those general principles to specific instances and particular cases is the responsibility of every person with a well formed conscience AFTER he or she has heard all the facts and pondered all the arguments.
One can licitly dispute the existence or the effect and response to global warming just as one can have a reasonable debate on the merits of democratic-republic vs constitutional monarchy, or whether the best from or governance is parliamentary or presidential. Catholics can also differ on big government or little; on the primacy of federalism or states' rights. They can register democrat, republican or independent. What the clergy must and ought to do (be they popes, bishops, priests or deacons) is identify moral principles and issues that transcend opinion. A legitimate political or economic system must respect the Natural Moral Law and abide by the principles of justice. When it does not happen or when it seems that there may be breach, then the religious authorities have a duty to inform the electorate and those in power.
As a pastor, I often hear parishioners say "well Father So-and-so said this" or "he did it this way." Leaders are often compares to their predecessors and we should be able to learn from their (and our own) mistakes. Opinion and style are personal choices particular to the individual. Hence, if the pastor wears a cassock or a clergy shirt with a white tab; whether he drives a fiat, a buick or a Honda; whether he wears tie shoes or loafers, French cuffs or button; none of these matter as long as he teaches the truth, celebrates the sacraments validly and reverently, and treats his people with pastoral love and mercy.
The papacy does not enjoy divine inspiration as does the revealed word of Sacred Scripture. It does have the charism of infallibility on matters of faith and morals and Holy Mother Church as a whole has the charism of indefectibility. Either we believe and trust in those or we do not. The former is orthodoxy, the latter is dissent. On prudential judgment matters, we can agree to disagree yet we must also submit to those in authority over us in areas where they have proper jurisdiction.
Pope Francis is no threat. He is the Successor of Saint Peter and he is the visible head of the Catholic Church. I must give an assent of faith to all infallible papal decrees and give respect and consideration to his opinions, views and prudential judgments. Just as we may not have agreed with everything our dad said and did, we still were required to obey (as far as possible) and respect and honor him. No less should be given to Our Holy Father, either.

"The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is a federal law enforcement agency that provides integrated security and law enforcement services to federally owned and leased buildings, facilities, properties and other assets."
Also, since when do conservatives advocate being rude and confrontational around the police?

FPS was formed in the 1970's and if you ventured near any federal building for the last 40 years, you've seen these guys.
Just remember, before you fools became teabaggers and were told to hate DHS, you cheered the loudest for it under Bush.

Tony Hillerman, who wrote wonderful Native American police procedurals based in the 4 Corners Area - not far from Grand Junction, CO - often poked fun at (but was also a tad worried about them) these rightwing militia types constantly seeing Big Gubmint (whether from USA or them damn furriners) encroaching on them.

No. You'll be seeing about the same amount that you might happen to see now.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
This is just a federal security detail that protects federal property, which is hardly about giving up my liberty. Talk about an over-reaction.
OTOH, this person no doubt would have screamed about what a traitor I was when I was protesting the Patriot Act before it was passed. How does this rightwinger feel about the Patriot Act now?

I do background investigations for a living and run into these folks all day long. The FPS falls under the Department of Homeland Security (NOT the Secret Service). They are charged with guarding federal facilities (or ensuring they are secure, which means dropping in unannounced on buildings guarded by private security).
Believe it or not...THERE ARE FEDERAL BUILDINGS IN COLORADO. As a matter of fact, there are 89 of them!

Alumnus, Heart Health Advocate Invited to White House Briefing
Jeremy Aylward, class of 2007, will be among 70 American Heart Association volunteers invited to a White House "Community Leaders Briefing" on cardiovascular health on Friday, Feb. 24, as part of American Heart Month.
In 1996, as a seventh grader eager to play new sports, Aylward had a routine physical which resulted in a surprise visit with a cardiologist. He was diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and insufficiency with left ventricular hypertrophy and ascending aorta dilatation, and at age 18, he had two open heart surgeries within 20 days. Now, nearly nine years later, Aylward is a fundraiser and advocate for the American Heart Association.
"As a heart survivor, I'm very excited to take part in this forum on cardiovascular health," said Aylward, who now lives in Sioux Falls. "Through important dialogues like this one, we can examine ways to fight cardiovascular diseases – America's number one killer – as a nation and in our communities."
The all-day briefing will include a presentation on "Million Hearts," a national initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes over five years. Association advocates will be joined at the White House by top Obama administration staff, representatives of WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease and other national groups focused on cardiovascular diseases.
Discussion topics include access to quality cardiovascular care, cardiovascular research, tobacco policy, and health disparities among women and minorities. Following a networking lunch, advocates will participate in breakout sessions on various topics related to cardiovascular health, including nutrition and physical activity.
"Less than 1 percent of the U.S. public meets the American Heart Association's criteria for ideal heart health," said Aylward. "Community briefings like this are invaluable tools in our effort to reverse this alarming trend and help all Americans build lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."
Community Leaders Briefings bring together leaders and activists from across the country. They present an opportunity to discuss common challenges and learn how the government can help improve communities.

* I made the list of "2012 Tax Connections Top Tax Blogs" at, where else, TAX CONNECTIONS!
* Now the IRS is asked to address "The Phantom Menace". Michael Cohn reports "Committee Urges IRS to Combat 'Phantom Preparers'" at ACCOUNTING TODAY.
"Among the fraud trends identified in the report is the problem of 'phantom prepared' returns, that is, tax returns prepared by another for compensation and filed as self-prepared. The problem has been growing in recent years since the IRS stepped up its efforts to regulate the tax preparation profession. By not signing the returns, some tax preparers believe they are able to sidestep scrutiny and the new requirements for registration, testing and continuing education."
The IRS should indeed seek out and penalize non-registered preparers - and equally penalize the taxpayers who use them.
* And at CNN MONEY Jeanne Sahadi compares "Obama vs. Romney on Taxes" -
"Tax reform.
Both presidential candidates talk about it -- both say they want it. And there's a good chance that the one who wins in November will end up presiding over it.
But neither President Obama nor Mitt Romney has offered a comprehensive plan for how he wants to overhaul the tax code.
Instead they've each made broad statements about what tax reform can achieve. And many of the tax proposals they have offered would work within the current structure of the code."
I continue to call for a total rewriting of the Tax Code – doing away with most "tax expenditures". But, unfortunately, I expect the chances of that happening are slim to none. Considering the specifics provided for each candidate as outlined in this article I prefer the Romney proposals.
* Kay Bell lists "12 Midyear Tax Moves for 2012" over at DON'T MESS WITH TAXES.
* Lots of tax-related "stuff" in the Tax Policy Center's WEEKLY TAX UPDATE.
* Trish McIntire gives us her 2 cents on how to submit returns to your "Uncle Sam", or any other "uncle" if you have more than one to file in "Mailing Returns".
When reviewing the previous year returns of new clients I find that I can often amend more than one of the "open year" federal and/or state returns to claim additional refunds (by correcting mistakes made by the previous preparer – often a CPA). I tell my clients to sign and mail the oldest amended return first, and once the refund check for that return is received to sign and mail the next oldest return, and so on. I do the same if I am filing multiple original returns.
I do not want more than one return in "the system" at the same time, and risk confusing the IRS or state tax authority any more than they already are.
* Tax pros – have you checked out my "Special Summer Savings"?
This past July 4th I enjoyed my annual viewing of the movie version of the wonderfully written musical "1776", with a great cast of Broadway actors, on TCM (I saw the original on Broadway as well as the revival with STNG's "Data" as John Adams).
In the film John Adams explains – "One useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a Congress".
And he continues to complain about the Congress – "We piddle, twiddle, and resolve. Not one damn thing do we solve."
It seems nothing has changed in the past 236 years – at least when it comes to the idiots in Congress!

has been renominated to serve on the federal court bench in Eugene.
President Barack Obama nominated McShane back in September, but the Senate failed to act on the nomination before Wednesday's close of the congressional session. The new Congress opened for business Thursday.
If confirmed by the Senate, McShane would succeed Michael Hogan, who took senior status in September 2011. McShane would be one of two judges based at the U.S. District Court in Eugene.
He earned a bachelor's degree at Gonzaga University in 1983 and a law degree at Lewis and Clark College in 1988.
McShane spent nearly a decade representing indigent criminal defendants as a public defender in Portland. He worked as a judge pro tempore before he was appointed to the Circuit Court bench in 2001.

With the recent news about JPMorgan Chase and its $6.2 billion loss in derivatives trading, there are renewed calls for increased government oversight and tightened regulations on today's financial services firms.
It's not my intent to take a position in this blog on whether or when government intervention is necessary, but rather to simply state the fact that we're living in an era when more stringent regulatory requirements are a reality. Moreove the likelihood that these requirements will become permanent—and will expand over time—is increasing.
Why the increase? In a word, transparency. Regulators, financial services professionals, investors and taxpayers all want a clearer picture of the financial transactions that drive markets and shape the world we live in. To achieve this transparency, there's a need to gather and report on increasingly mountainous volumes of data—a process that leads to a simple equation:
The more you regulate, the more labor that is required. If automated systems are not in place, that means manual labor, which leads to an expenditure of time, energy and capital that is not scalable or ultimately sustainable.
What's a regulator to do? Or what about the investment firm or entity that's being audited?
Compliance Tip 1: Ask Smart Questions; Set Clear Goals
First, participants in the regulatory process need to cultivate a realistic perspective on what can and can't be done. It's not possible or desirable to regulate everything under the sun.
Rather, it's important to pose questions that help you establish a clear direction for the audit. First, what are you trying to do? Or, to give the question a different slant, what are you trying to prevent, and who are you trying to protect? Are you seeking to shield investors from the possibility of another Bernie Madoff? Trying to save large financial institutions from themselves, such as when they disregard their own internal risk models and put their organization and stockholders in danger?
Whatever you're seeking to achieve, you need to ask how you will achieve it, and determine what it will cost. Will it be onerous, and spike your overhead by 20% or 30%? Or will it be in an acceptable range, deliver a positive ROI, and lower your overall cost of doing business? (You can also ask what is the cost of not staying compliant, and whether that potential outcome is tolerable.)
Here again, we need to return to the data part of the equation—and this time, take a quick look at the role of new technologies in meeting the regulatory challenge.
Compliance Tip 2: Transparency, Automation, Scalability
For regulators and audited firms, the most fundamental need is to have quality data to work with. Whether you're looking at transaction-level data, confirming custodial reporting, monitoring a firm's activity or doing anything else—your efforts will only be successful if the data you have is timely and accurate.
Generally speaking, this type of quality data isavailable at specific points in the transaction chain, but accessing it and working with it is still a manual process. You can't gather it easily, and when you are able to gather it, you can't easily and cost-effectively replicate the process on a mass scale. Instead, for a regulator to operate effectively, and for a firm to be able to supply regulators with quality data, it's necessary to gather and process data differently than before. It's essential to automate—to invest in new technology that enables the regulator and regulated to:
- Scale to exponentially greater volumes of data
- Access the data more quickly than ever before
- Know that the data is relevant on a macro- and granular scale
- Use the data for analytics, testing, whatever is necessary to achieve complete transparency
Compliance Tip 3: Increase Frequency, Depth of Testing.
Suppose you test an RIA firm once every three years and you look at 10% of its data. Wouldn't it be more effective to test every year and look at 100% of their data? With automated data gathering capabilities you can more readily make this leap.
Using account aggregation technology makes life easier for both sides—to the regulatory agencies that gather and analyze the data, and to the RIA firms that assemble and report it. It's a win-win that ultimately does not require a lot of effort from either side. With the right technology, it's a process that just works.

Late last week, a rather amusing story made the rounds in the mainstream media: the humble wooden stick had been inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame.
Usually such stories are tossed out there into the news to give people a lighthearted moment in between more intense and often downbeat stories, but this story gave me pause. In an age where many of the toys targeted towards children are fairly expensive and seem to only hold their interest for a few minutes, what toys have really stood the test of time?
I spent some time looking at the list of toys in the Toy Hall of Fame, and I was actually rather impressed – and inspired. I didn't really expect this little investigation to turn into an article for The Simple Dollar, but when I started digging in, I had something of an epiphany: there were a few profound patterns in the toys in the Hall, and those patterns point straight towards good patterns for frugal parenting.
A few of the toys were basically free. You can find a humble wooden stick in the yard. Many items that you buy come with a "free" cardboard box. It's also fairly easy to make a homemade kite, homemade Play-Doh, or homemade Silly Putty. None of those items – all of them classic toys – require much expenditure at all.
Almost all of the toys were open-ended. There's not a set way you can play with most of the toys – they don't have an obvious, specific way to play. Instead, a child must bring some imagination to the table – and when they do that, there's a huge abundance of replay value in these toys. The stick and the cardboard box are just for starters – crayons, alphabet blocks, Erector sets, LEGOs, Tinkertoys, and several other items on the list fall into that category.
Almost all of the toys are cheap to buy new. Even beyond the free items, most of the toys are very cheap to buy new. I could only identify a small number of items on the entire list of 41 toys that cost more than $10 – many could be purchased for far less than that.
Most of the toys are sturdy – and thus likely to be found at yard sales. Items like alphabet blocks, Etch-A-Sketches, hula hoops, jump ropes, marbles, and skateboards are often easily found at yard sales and are passed down from child to child, generation to generation. Why? They're sturdy – it's hard to break them during normal play.
So, what's the message here? Most of the "great" toys on this list are also frugal toys as well. A child is much likely to get more intellectual growth out of a box of crayons and a big pad of paper than they ever would out of a $20 toy that lights up and makes noises. The noisy toy might get a bit more attention at first, but over the long run, that box of crayons will become well-worn while the noisy toy gathers dust in the corner.
This Christmas, when you go to buy gifts for the children on your Christmas list, think carefully about the Toy Hall of Fame – the toys that are truly timeless. They're not the ones with the big price tag. They're not the toy of the moment.
Instead, they're toys that your parents played with, that you played with, and that my own kids are playing with right now. They're the ones that children are drawn to over and over again, because they let their imaginations roam instead of just responding to the push of a button.
The best part is, they come with a very low price tag.
Instead of getting your child or your nephew some expensive toy this Christmas, get that child some crayons and an end roll of newspaper to draw on and then spend an hour drawing with that child. If you're a parent, package one of your gifts in a big cardboard box – likely, your child will have more fun with the box than with the gift.
In short, give a little more imagination and spend a little less money. If you really feel obligated to spend that money, make a donation to the child's 529 in addition to the gift.
As for us? Our two kids are receiving at least three of the items from the Toy Hall of Fame this Christmas. I can't think of a better "wish list" to start from.

The National Science Foundation has awarded St. Bonaventure University almost $600,000 to help recruit talented students interested in science, technology, engineering and math for fall 2015.
The five-year grant of $594,287 will allow the university to provide more need-based aid to talented students who might not otherwise be able to attend St. Bonaventure.
"While we have no way to consider all the variables contained within the FAFSA determination, we would anticipate that most students whose family income is below $175,000 annually would demonstrate need," said Troy Martin, director of financial aid.
Martin urged prospective students to file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible, and no later than Feb. 15. Students should also apply for admission to the university by Feb. 15, he said.
"This award expresses significant peer recognition by NSF and is a testament to the collaborative vision of faculty, administration and staff in sustained excellence at St. Bonaventure University in STEM education," said Dr. Wolfgang Natter, former dean of the School of Arts & Sciences.
The grant proposal didn't simply ask for money to support recruitment of STEM students, but laid out a comprehensive framework that detailed how the students would achieve success at St. Bonaventure.
Titled "Discovery Within Community," the program's primary objective is to recruit for the fall 2015 freshman class a cohort of 25 academically talented students with financial need to the biology, chemistry, computer science, math, and physics programs.
But its secondary objective is to enhance STEM support services to improve academic performance and increase student retention rates.
Key components of the plan include housing the students together to form a learning community; taking several core-area courses together; and taking a special STEM course that explores the multidisciplinary character of 21st century scientific discovery.
The grant proposal cited research that a cohort model and sharing classes and a residence hall improve the educational experience, said Dr. Peter Schneible, O.F.M., assistant professor of biology.
"St. Bonaventure has always taken seriously its role as a mentoring community so this program is a perfect fit for us," said Schneible, who will serve as principal investigator and oversee administration of the program.
Most of the grant money will be dedicated to financial aid, but a small amount will be allotted to cover conference travel of the student fellows, small stipends for the program coordinators, and payments for STEM tutors through the university's Teaching and Learning Center.
The program will also provide field trips to companies and connect students to internship and job placement opportunities. Critical elements of the program are the internship and career pathways involving local businesses and companies, Natter said.
"GOACC is honored to partner with St. Bonaventure to connect science and technology majors with area employers for internships and experiential learning," said Larry Sorokes, CEO of Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce. "Facilitating career-development opportunities for young people is a critical element in our economic development strategy, and this new program is an excellent example of business-education collaboration."
STEM faculty also will engage students in collaborative research, lead trips to STEM conferences, and encourage students to present at these conferences and publish in academic journals.
The program's ultimate objective is to ensure that at least 90 percent of the students who graduate from the program in four years will secure employment with a STEM employer or enter a STEM graduate school program.
A symposium will connect fellows with STEM professionals and introduce students to career opportunities. Students also will participate in career and graduate school preparatory activities coordinated by St. Bonaventure's Career and Professional Readiness Center.
The grant proposal said St. Bonaventure exemplified Ernest Boyer's principles of community in higher education: purposeful community, open community, just community, disciplined community, caring community, and celebrative community.
"This DWC program will build on this heritage and specifically enhance it for students in the STEM fields," Schneible said.
Dr. Steve Andrianoff (computer science), Dr. David Hilmey (chemistry), Dr. Doug Cashing (mathematics), and Dr. Jerry Kiefer (physics) will serve as co-principal investigators and help Schneible manage and support the program.
For more information on the DWC program, contact Schneible at firstname.lastname@example.com, or (716) 375-2538.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

Is there a reason why the cleanup tag, wiki formatting, and grammar editing have been taken out and replaced by what seems to be basically the originally posted article? Vandrona 04:17, March 6, 2007 (PST)
- It looks like the original poster came back with corrections and re-posted a updated article. This wiped out the edits by others. The original poster may not have known that the article was updated.
- To he original poster: Please keep in mind that this is a community project. Always edit the latest version of an article. If you have a work in progress, please use the Template:Inprogress template. Andrew 05:14, March 6, 2007 (PST)
- It doesn't seem to have helped. My contributions to the article were deleted, together with the cleanup tag, without an explanation. Vandrona 10:10, April 19, 2007 (PDT)
This article reads like a homily, citing many sources that are of borderline relevance. The topic, I think, should be focused on the issue of what various Orthodox sources have to say about sexual issues. The nature of marriage is obviously the starting point (and didn't I hear that marriage is equal in dignity to the monastic life, not inferior to it as this article suggests?).
One important problem is the extent to which "the Church" can be said to offer a single, coherent answer to issues such as masturbation. I would be surprised to find many authoritative writings or sermons referring to it (more on undefined "temptations") but I'm sure they exist. The question then becomes, can such pronouncements be described as marginal to the church, or are they integral to it?
A more serious issue is that of "fornication" (read, nonmarital sex relations, presumed to be heterosexual and nonadulterous). Certainly any number of biblical and patristic citations thunder against it, and yet, the attitude of spiritual fathers who must deal with real-world relationships is not always so uncompromising. Do they (the confessors) too not represent the Church? Is it un-Orthodox to claim that such rules (like the question of polygamy, perhaps) owe as much to secular social mores as to universal moral principles?
Other topics which ought to be covered include homosexuality and birth control. Zla'od 00:32, January 4, 2008 (PST)
More Suggestions
Several times I have written things, only to have them deleted, with the only discussion being the comments in the summary box. Not only does this discourage me, and probably others, from contributing, but it seems unlikely to allow for a decent article to develop. May I suggest that try to agree here on how the article should look? Otherwise, the text will just revert to whoever has the most strident views and the most time.
So, what DOES Orthodoxy teach about sex? We desperately need a methodology for establishing this. On one hand, as I understand matters, the Orthodox faithful are not REQUIRED to believe anything that is not specifically mentioned in the creeds (which would include all sexual subjects except those pertaining to the Virgin Mary). Even matters specifically proscribed by the Bible (such as shrimp-eating) need not be assumed to be applicable.
On the other hand, there is the matter of Tradition. Certainly any number of authorities within Orthodoxy have made pronouncements of various types, which would yield a lengthy list of recommendations and prohibitions. The problem here is that it is difficult to establish which of these are to be included within the "Tradition." For example, I believe Chrysostom recommended marriage at a relatively young age (before military service for men), which strikes most people today as profoundly bad advice.
The issue of personal advice from one's spiritual father is another vexed issue. For many people, the Church "speaks" on such matters through this very personalized route, which does not well lend itself to being summarized, transcribed, or generalized about. By making pronouncements to the effect that the Church commands this or that, we perhaps render too concrete advice that is meant to be personalized. (Also, there seems to be some disagreement as to the appropriateness of approaching one's spiritual father for help with personal decisions such as who to date, or what to do with them while dating.
Anyway, may I suggest the following topics?
- The nature of romantic love
- The nature of marriage (Genesis, Cana)
- The nature and applicability of commandments pertaining to sex and marriage
- The theme of resisting lust and temptation
- Traditions of celibacy and fasting (from sex as well as food)
- A catalogue of sexual topics, mentioning which Orthodox authorities have taken which positions
- Examples of dating and relationship advice (I am aware of pamphlets)
- A floor-plan showing which sections of church might legitimately be used for sex, provided no other condition prohibited it (ha ha, just kidding on this one)
Your thoughts? Zla'od 17:15, January 7, 2008 (PST)
My .02
Hi, Zla'od! I'm Mike, Gabriela's husband. Welcome to Orthodoxwiki! I normally don't make comments or edit heavily, leaving that to my darling wife, but I am a longtime reader of Orthodoxwiki. I don't think we've had this much discussion on an article here on our humble little site for awhile! :)
I think first I want to say is that it is extremely important that articles stick to a certain mainstream Chalcedonian Orthodox POV. I'll give you an example:
On occasion, I do write articles on saints and when fancy strikes me, heresy and different religious movements. Awhile back, I wrote an article on Mormonism, complete with detailed descriptions of Mormon history and its theology. Fr. Andrew kindly directed me on how my article wasn't fitting with the rest of Orthodoxwiki, and that I needed to "Orthodoxize" it. So I went back and made points about how Mormon theology and history doesn't fit with Orthodox theology and the way we view ecclesiastical history. It is important that all articles follow with this theme.
Second, the Church practices oikonomia, which essentially means flexible observance of the canons. During confession, many priests exercise oikonomia when penitents seek out pastoral direction in special circumstances, and consequently, penances may be lower than what the canons prescribe. This does not say that the Church condones certain exercises such as masturbation, adultery, or fornication. However, the Church in her wisdom grants us this mercy because we are weak.
Let me give you an example: Christ said in both the Gospels of St. Mark and St. Matthew that couples should never divorce and re-marry, lest they commit adultery (though in St. Matthew's, Christ states that men and women can divorce on the grounds of fornication). Chrysostom in Homily 19 on 1 Corinthians VII states that while this is a law which Christ established, separations do occur, and that sometimes it is necessary for two people to separate in order to save both their souls. In perfect circumstances, they should stay together. But again, we live in a fallen world.
I hope these examples have given you a look into how we view things, and that unlike Roman Catholics, we aren't legalistic - but that doesn't make us libertines as some of your comments seem to express. These are just my views. I am not a priest or a theologian, I could very much be wrong. Things regarding these matters should be discussed with an Orthodox priest that you feel comfortable talking to.
I hope to be seeing you around the Wiki more often.
